The crossing the Gulf of Bothnia (Swedish: korsar Bottenviken; Russian: Переход через Кваркен) this is a march of Russians through the Gulf of Bothnia to the territory of Sweden near Stockholm.[4]
March[edit]
The march began on March 8 and, according to its idea, was a unique event in world history. In the cold more than -15 degrees, russians were walking across the icy desert straight to Stockholm, right in front of the Swedish coast, they burned two merchant ships to keep warm. They were opposed by a detachment in Umeå numbering no more than 1,000 people. Seeing the numerical superiority of the Russians, the Swedes tried to let go, but their rearguard units were overtaken and defeated. On March 10, Barclay de Tolly entered Umeå, the Swedish troops there surrendered and promised to surrender all Västerbotten[5]
Memory[edit]
Alexander I personally presented individual unique awards to each participant of the campaign.
